[Slewman]

i have a snippet of code i use to save AN ENTIRE scene, not sure if this will help, but it might
drawArea.front() is my GraphicsScene pointer

bool DrawArea::saveImage(const QString &fileName, const char *fileFormat)
   {
      QImage newImage(size(),QImage::Format_RGB32);
      QPainter painter(&newImage);
 
      drawArea.front()->render(&painter,drawArea.front()->sceneRect());
      if (newImage.save(fileName,fileFormat,80))
      {
         qDebug()<<"SAVE SUCCESS!";
         return true;
      }
      else
         return false;
   }

bool DrawArea::saveImage(const QString &fileName, const char *fileFormat)
   {
      QImage newImage(size(),QImage::Format_RGB32);
      QPainter painter(&newImage);

      drawArea.front()->render(&painter,drawArea.front()->sceneRect());
      if (newImage.save(fileName,fileFormat,80))
